Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.69+squeeze1
Severity: minor
dd-list, which I originally wrote (though in Python), sorts names by
the last word in the name, trying to get it to sort by the surname.
This, of course, is highly error prone. dd-list has some special
cases for things like team mailing lists on alioth, which complicate
things further. As a result, people seem to be using search rather
than browse. As a result, we have complicated code that makes
people's lives harder.
Could we change dd-list to sort just on the whole name string?
If I understand correctly (my Perl-fu is low, alas), this would
mean changing the parse_developer subroutine to just return
the full string ("$developer").
